What makes this one special
From the Judges
From the Judges
A taut psychological thriller following an ordinary man simply trying to earn an honest living as frustration and unease close in around him, this film pulls its viewer straight into that mounting tension. Its shot choices, framing, and colour grade kept the panel entranced, and the sound design struck them as daunting and wholly original. A committed lead performance and high production values across every department made for an absorbing, edge-of-the-seat ride.
